August 30/23 6:42 PM



I have never handled depression or desperation very easily
I am trying to do everything that doesn’t involve me taking the next plane to your city and crying out your name searching for you
my pride gets in the way of admitting I want you back,
and I’m not good enough to even deserve that
with the honest truth,
the loss of you consumes my entire body and soul
